All IBM I folks who want a unix-like env on IBM i should make sure they
have an AIX or Linux or OpenBSD box handy so they can figure out how all
this is really supposed to work before they try to make it work under the
shaky emulation provided via PASE. Try installing the same packages on one
of those real Unixes for comparison before wrestling with it on IBM i.

I should have said, "to create a group [named] *system*"

Get on a Linux system and do man group and man groupadd

Use the groupadd command to create a group system. Add yourself to it.

I messed up something here and I am not sure what is going on. I needed
to update wget and decided to bite the bullet and install a few more
binaries from the perzl site. Following instructions from YiPS I get this
when I run the setup script:

bash-3.00$ ./setup2.sh
setting up rpm.rte ...
setup_rpm[17]: restore: not found
mkdir: cannot create /QOpenSys/opt.
/QOpenSys/opt: File exists
cp: /QOpenSys/download/usr/opt/*: No such file or directory
rm: usr: No such file or directory
ln: /QOpenSys/var/opt exists. Specify -f to remove.
ln: /opt exists. Specify -f to remove.
ln: /var/opt exists. Specify -f to remove.
ln: libpopt.so exists. Specify -f to remove.
ln: librpm.so exists. Specify -f to remove.
ln: librpmbuild.so exists. Specify -f to remove.
setting up wget-1.9.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm ...
group system does not exist - using root

.........repeat the above about 30 more times.....then

wget ##################################################
setting up prezl depend tree ...

So I ran wwwclean.sh to remove the stuff. How do I reestablish, now,
all the links but now to the OSS stuff in 5733OPS? Like, now that bash 3.0
is gone, I'd like to use the bash in OPS. Is there a script I can run that
will add the links to the binaries in OPS properly now that I have cleaned
out the cruft from freeware? Once I have the OPS stuff back, THEN I may
play with some of the Perzl stuff but I'd like to run as vanilla as I can...
